Thanks :-)

That's a winning smile. Great relevance.

Is this yours, George? it reminds me of something I saw a month or so in San Francisco. The technical quality of this image is very good, although I don't care for the framing--I can't see what's so interesting about the fellows right shoulder and the feet of the person standing in the background. There must be something just to the left that you are cropping out. What not just crop in tight and let his face tell the story.

High marks except for composition--I'm old school.

He's "twisting" his head to look back at you.

My problem with the composition is that it seems "uncomfortable" to me that he is crowded way over to the left side of the frame, and is nearly looking out of the frame. Also, the readily discernable feet that are prominent in the upper right keep grabbing my attention away from your intended subject.

Your focus and image quality are awesome.

Ahh yes. It's the DRUMMING guy!!

@Ana:
Cheers sis :-)

@King & Jarrett:
I like the composition for precisely the reasons you don't: the fact that he's pushed over to the left...that he's looking over his shoulder...and that there are feet in the background. To me his face has impact...though true, it might have even more had I cropped in on just his face. But I still like you guys even if you're wrong.

This George, is probably why we enjoy your company so much ;)

George said 514 days ago:

Cheers, mate ;-)

Steichen was wrong. Cartier-Bresson was wrong. Avedon was wrong. Eugene-Smith was wrong. Liebovitz was wrong. Karsh was wrong.

I think we're in good company, and I agree with Jarrett. You da man!
